Safe Road Maps Review

We hear on the nightly news about traffic deaths, and it is such a regular feature, that we can find ourselves somewhat numb to the news, unless it concerns a family member or friend. I had a chance to review SafeRoadMaps.org. Even though I read news stories about trafic crashes in Missouri every day as part of research for the Operationstop.com web site, the map for 2006 traffic fatalities was still stunning. I suggest you review it.

Go to saferoadsmap.org and enter site. Click the link for Maps, and you should be here. On the right hand side of the page, select Missouri. Go to the bottom of this column and click reset map. It takes a moment for the map to load. If the map does not reload for a world view to Missouri map, then the site is not working properly (its new, they still have bugs - check back later).

If it is working, you will see our state completely covered in crash icon's. These signifying 2006 fatality crashes. If you are used to using Google Maps you know how to zoom in and check your area. If not, use the scale bar on the left of the map. Clicking the + button, will zoom the map in stages. If you are only interested in checking your immediate area, go to Safe Streets Map link and include your information.

This is one year in Missouri.
